Re: When will Hasan Raza and Faisal Iqbal get a look?
brahmachari99:
Out of all the batsman Pakistan has tried recently, two stand out for being ignored: Hasan Raza and Faisal Iqbal. I remember both of them played very well in the 2002 Sharjah Test series against Australia. Both of them got very respectable scores there and Faisal even went on to make an ODI century in Zimbabwe. Hasan Raza was only given a chance in one or two Tests after the Sharjah series, and never recalled again. Even though I’ve never seen him play, Hasan Raza is supposed to be a very wristy and elegant batsman, like Laxman. And Faisal Iqbal is, of course, Javed Miandad’s nephew, so some of his qualities must’ve rubbed off on him.
During this Indian series, Hasan Raza made a double century in domestic series, and also got some decent scores against Sri Lanka A. Unless someone else knows different, I think these two have the potential to become the backbone of Pakistan cricket in future. Anybody who has Woolmer’s ears might want to drop these two names to him.
